Matt Johnson has admitted that he is still close to ex-girlfriend Alex Jones.

The OK! TV presenter denied that he was back together with his former girlfriend of seven years - who now presents BBC's The One Show.

Asked if he had been reunited with Jones, he responded: "No. We were together for almost seven years so we're close. I don't want to live my life differently just because I might be photographed giving her a kiss. I kiss everyone like that - well, maybe not my mum."

Johnson added: "I'm terrible at flirting! If I like a girl, I go all shy and quiet. My technique isn't any more sophisticated than playground flirting. I just pull their hair. Or grab them - have you seen Big Fat Gypsy Weddings?"

Alex is currently presenting Lets Dance... For Comic Relief with another former boyfriend, Steve Jones.
